Theodore Roosevelt River of Doubt
Theodore Roosevelt and the River of Doubt
One day, after Theodore Roosevelt lost the election, he was invited to Brazil, South America, in terms of exploring an unexplored river, called the River of Doubt. When they got there, the ex-president and his friends, as well as his son Kermit, set off down the river. While in the canoe down the river, they faced many challenges such as piranhas, poisonous snakes, heavy rapids, and Indian attacks. While on their way down the river, a lot of the men were bitten by malaria-carrying mosquitoes, contracting this disease that slowed their trip down majorly. They also had a lot of bad luck with rapids down the river, but Theodore’s son Kermit knew a lot about ropes, so he saved them a lot of the time when they were going down the rapids. After awhile down river, they decided to stop and explore deeper into the jungle around the river, and proclaimed every man for himself. Although most of the men went on their way, Kermit and George Cherrie helped care for the ex-president and his illness. The ex-president also had a cut leg from falling on a rock, so he could barely walk. After they got out of the river of doubt, he went to South America and stayed in a secluded home in ostermier bay in New York fighting off depression and despair from his permanent diseases that made him bed-ridden.
